Background and Objectives: Today, various medical schools have emerged, including
modern, complementary and traditional medicine, Chinese and recently Islamic medicine,
each of which has played a role in the process of human health based on its own
philosophy. On the other hand, the find and hidden excommunication of the followers of
each school than other medical schools, caused conflicts in the action scene that achieve
of the population right to health has faced with challenges. The purpose of this article is
to explain the concept and components of Islamic medicine so that by understanding of it
more accurately, the scope of these conflicts can be reduced.
Methods: This article is a review and library that has been conducted purposefully and with
certain criteria through searching in valid religious books including Tasnim’s interpretation, the
status of reason in the geometry of religious knowledge and domestic and international scientific
databases with related keywords such as Islamic medicine without applying time limits.
Results: Understanding the roots of scientific differences, the concept of Islamic science,
Islamic anthropology, spiritual medicine, the scope of evidence-based medicine, the basic
requirements and criteria of Islamization of medicine, how to deal with medical narrative
propositions and finally provide a model for dealing with medical issues are components
that should be considered in recognizing the true concept of Islamic medicine.
Conclusion: According to the prominent position of wisdom in the Islam school, the actual
concept of “Islamic medicine” is very much beyond from what that now wrongly instead
of saying “Teb al-’A’imma” or “Medicine of Period of Islamic Civilization” is used. At
least the concept of “Islamic medicine” includes all of the common medical schools and
whatever medical science based on the method of sages and with a monotheistic view and
in the line of physical and spiritual health of the human.
Keywords: Human, Islamic medicine, Medicine, Medical Schools, Physical and Spiritual Health
